Before Jane Goodall’s discovery scientists believed that non-human primates lived simple life. It turns out that they are highly intelligent‚ emotional creatures that live in complex societies. This new discovery lead people to feel compassion and concern for the animals. Leakey’s once said “new we must redefine tool‚ redefine man‚ or consider chimpanzees as humans”.

Arturo Perez 11/05/2013 Anthropology Craig Stanford wrote an article titled “Got Culture” and the issues addressed in this article are that our closest relatives who are the Chimpanzees share a culture just as us humans do.

However‚ some scientists say that chimpanzees do indeed possess TOM. By showing a chimpanzee a series of video tapes of humans in situations that lacked a solution‚ and then presenting several different photos‚ one with a solution to the problem‚ it was shown that chimpanzees do indeed possess a version of TOM. For example‚ the chimpanzee was shown a video of a phonograph‚ unable to play because it was unplugged. The chimpanzee then chose the photo of a plugged in phonograph as a solution (Premack and Woodruff

The article entitled "Dim Forest‚ Bright Chimps" by Christophe Boesch and Hedwige Boesch-Anchermann (1991:72-75) shows that the use of crude tools and hunting strategies might have been the same between chimpanzees and our early ancestors. In 1979‚ a field team began a long-term study of the chimpanzees in the Tai National Park. The goal of studying these chimps was to help "shed new light on prevailing theories of human evolution" (72). Anthropologists believe that some 1.8 million years ago‚ hunting

He knew his pursuer was coming; he heard the thumping sound of feet on the soft earth‚ and the night breeze brought him the perfume of the general’s cigarette.
